ODDS AND ENDS.

Now that President and Mrs. Cleve-
land have come and gone and all the
particulars of their visit recorded, there
will be room in the papers for the usual
remarks ON the deSirability of pushing
work on the cable railway as fast as
possible.
In the writing department. of the
st. Paul end of the Minneapolis Tribune
the drive Of the presidential party about
the city, the visit to Mayor Smiths
house, the entertainment by the Mime
sofa club and the departure for Mime
apolis were given ''stickfur' of space.
In the same department, same end, same
paper, the disposition in the police
court of exactly the same number of
persons, drunkS. etc, as made up the
presidential party. was given two
''stiekfuls." This Is unjust discrimina-
tion in favor of the drunks and disor-
derlies. In the days
When Mark P. Hatch was at the
helm, although he comes from Maine
land loves James G. Blaine, this would
never have been allowed.
e Senator Marcus johnson of Atwater,
was in st. Paul yesterday. He gave it
out that he still owned the blooded
Irish setter dog, which his friend, Sen
.ator Hall of Renville county, made for
him with common cur and pot of red
paint as the raw material.

A Dakota man i'm st. Paul told short
story yesterday which. he said, might
be a horse on Judge Egan, or Messrs.
fdNelly and Doran, he would not say
(which. 1t was when Judge Egan was
lat the White house in Washington and
was introduced to the president simply
as "Judge Egan."
| 0 From what state?" asked the chief.
| # "From the state of Kelly and Doran,
| sir" replied the county attorney, speak
| ing for himself.
II have heard the names but [ can't
place them," replied the president.
| The Dakota man said this was a bit
| of gospel truth.
1t seems that the best part of P. H.

along, even if we lose $40, 900, and guaran
tee that in twenty days after this matter win
have been cleared up, we will be able to go
right ahead with the business. We can rent
another store on Third street. and have sixty
or seventy pianos in it as soon as the freight
can arrive. ,Celby assured us that, as they
were making about sixty pianos q week. they
wanted this and Minneapolis to be the dump
ing place for their surplus stock, and he
shipped pianos to us which we had never
ordered, hence our large liabilities to- his
concern. He assured us that if we gaye,him
our notes we could have them renewed for a
year, and as often as we liked. Instead of
giving us any chance to renew them heWent
off and transferred them to the banks!i Of
our notes of this character the receiver has
new about $1,000 worth. l am the one,that
is swindled. 1t is all fraud and am assured
by my New York solicitor that the courts
will give me back my property and put C. c.
Colby, Sr., where he belongs. ID
MIR. COLBY SCORED.
The firm has now about eighty of the
Colby, Duncan u Co. pianos on hand.
Mr.. Blaikie handed the reporter copy
of the New York Musical Courier, which
criticises MIR. Colby severely, and criti-
sizes Receiver Williams for going on
with the business of Colby, Duncan s.
CO., instead of winding up their affairs.
Referring to Mr.. Colby, it says:
Mr.. G. g. Colby is looked upon as the chief
cancer found during the pianistic autopsy.
4 We have no hesitation in stating
that Mr.. G. c. Colby is generally looked upon
as the chief offender i'll the whole Colby
Duncan conspiracy Nothing that has yet
been performed in the piano trade under the
semblance of responsibility savors so much of
hypocrisy and false pretense as the transac-
tions in which Mr.. Colby has been identified
ever since he assumed to conduct the affairs
of Colby, Duncan d Co. He inaugurated a
system of sham transactions and fictitious
finance which, for the time being, demoral-
lied the piano trade, and from the effects of
which it will be impossible to recover for
months to cGme. Mr.. Colby was
the man who went on the road and arranged
the now well known consignment accommo
dation note system, which, had it lasted much
longer, would have ended so disastrously and
would have drawn SO many firms down into
destruction. Mr.. Colby was the man who
induced Petersen, of st. Paul. to exchange his
Florida orange grove for stock in the Colby
Duncan concern at a time just few days be-
fore the collapse, and when Colby must have
known that u refusal of discount would be
fatal TO his concern

duplicating John Connor in the
Stamp RObbery-Court Notes.
All day yesterday the jury in the
United States district court room lis
tened to the evidence in the trial of Con-
nor for robbery of the Minneapolis post
Office. 1t was only little before 5
O'Clock when Counsel O'Brien summed
up for the defense, and it was nearly
o'clock when Judge Nelson charged the
jury. The withered face of the aged
mother of John COnnor, alias "Billy
COnnor," was full of bitter grief, and
the tears appeared in her eyes whenever
she glanced toward her Wayward son,
who has already served one term in the
penitentiary for burglary. She was at
tired in deep mourning, and sat along
side of the wife of John Halpin,
Connor's former partner in the Chicago
saloon. John Halpin .'kid-looking''
fellow was on the same bench, having
been summoned as witness for the de-
fense. Mrs. Connor, the wife of the
prisoner, sat alongside of him and looked
hopeful enough. She is a girlish-lOok-
ing woman with blue eyes and auburn
hair, and her dress was concealed by a
plaid ulster. Connor has let his beard
grow since he has lain in jail, and this
adds to his sandy complexion. He bore
up stoically throughout, although he
WINGED some under the weight of
Bobby" Adams testimony. 'Bobby''
has rather frank face, but his eyes are
of a mischievous greenish-gray color,
ill-matching with his dark hair and
whiskers. He looks very young and
wears black slOuch hat and dark suit
with cutaway coat. Connor has Derby
and looks rather elderly in his long,
back Prince Albert.
'sBoBBY'S" TESTIMONY.
'sBobby" Adams was the first witness
cahed for the prosecution. His state
ment was very damaging to the prison
er's alibi defense. His right name is
Robert S. Adams, and he was one of the
party of crooks composed of ConnOr,
John Cook, Charlie Kinney, Pat Calla-
han, Pointer Harris and himself, who
stole stamps and treasury and bank
notes from Postmaster Larraway's
building on July'9. year ago. He had
been i'm Minneapolis during the Sd, 18th,
5th and 9th of July, and on the 9th he
fell in with Conner, Cook, Harris and
Kinney. He first knew Connor in 1884,

Cassia County Times.

Bill Little, of lower Goose Greek
came to Albion last Tuesday and
his actions were such as to cause
suspicious of his sanity. He fre-
quently demanded whiskey at the
saloons, but as often being refused
he threatened to take his life, when
he was taken to the cooler. He will
have hearing soon as to the ex-
tent of his insanity.
There are three or four penurious
cusses in Albion whose notion of
having things run to suit them
selves have grown to such proper
tions that the Times in common
with the taxpayers and citizens of
the valley demand halt. The
Times has been reticent on many
subjects pertaining to differences of
feeling among our citizens, but now
we want it distinctly understood
that the actions of these perpetual
irritators will have to cease. The
people have rights that must be re-
spected. TO disgrace the fair name
which surmounts our new school
house by employing a crank as
principal of the school to crafty
the selfish motives of one of the
trustees is more than the people
bargained for, and more than they
should really be expected to stand.
There are plenty of good teachers
to be had, and in the name Of jus
tice and decency in behalf of our
schooling population why not have
them ? 1t is burning shame that
petty prejudices should interfere
with our educational institution.
When the people have once united
and shown disposition on their
part to let up on sectional stl1fes it
is nothing more nor less than mis-
demeanor on the part of trustee to
foster such contemplate spirit of
selfishness.

The legislature has passed bill
making the last Monday in April
legal holiday, to be known as
"Arbor Day" The idea is to de-
vote that day to planting or arbor-
culture. The necessity of tree
planting has been recognized in
many of the states, and the setting
apart of a certain day for such pur-
pose has met with gratifying sue
cess. The best trees adapted to
this country, where winters are of
long duration, are the ailantus,
white ash and locust, although
many other varieties will thrive,
including the sugar maple and elm.
The culture of locust trees is liable
to meet with bad results, on ac-
count of the rabbits, as those pests
play havoc with the young trees.
Whether or not "Arbor Day" will
prove a success in Idaho remains to
be seen, but one thing is certain,
the fact Of its being a legal holiday
will not be overlooked.

Silver City Avalanche.

There is now snow all the way
from here to Kuna. On Reynolds
creek it is deeper than was ever
known before, being in places as
high as the tops Of the fences. Cat
tie are driven to the foothills and
canyons and, in many instances,
are so poor that it is with difficulty
that they get out of the way OF the
stages. There being but little feed,
the losses to stockmen will be very
heavy this winter, many of whom,
it is feared, will be next to ruined
financially. Should cold weather
now come, nearly all the cattle will
die. 1t is hoped, however, that we
will now have mild weather and
that the snow in the valleys will
melt and vanish, as that is the only
chance for stockmen to hold their
own.
News comes from almost every
section of the country, of more or
less stock dying. The loss how
ever, is principally among old COWS
or COWS with calves. The range
had no snow last winter or rain
last SIMMER to make the white sage
or grass grow. Besides it was pref
ty well eaten out by rabbits and
stock before winter set in. 1t used
to be the custom here, never to al
low stock to run in the summer on
the winter ranges, but we under
stand the cattle men do drive their
cattle to the foot hills but let them
run where they will. The lesson
taught this winter will probably in
cline. stock owners to keep the win

Capt. J. r. Lemar received news
on Thursday night that the con-
tractors on the intermediate tunnel
running for the Wilson mine, had
cut across the lode, which they
found to be clear quartz, 70 feet
wide, sample of which was sent
him for assay. This makes three
lodes that have been cut with the
tunnel, the first Is feet the second
feet, and the last 20 feet in width.
These mines will furnish ore for

Next to potatoes hay is about as
scarce an article in the Wood River
market as any. Ranchers below
Bellevue who disposed of large
quantities of hay last fall, and took
horses to feed through the winter,
are complaining of how much their
animal borders are disposing Of.
One man in this city who 'held
out" several tons is now selling it
in small lots at his own high figures.
Prospectors above Haley who kept
up their horses for the winter are
sorry for their venture, and in sew
eral cases good animals have been
killed rather than be allowed to
suffer starvation. 1t is impossible
to get hay in by rail, as the COM
pany report scarcity of cars, many
being snow blockaded. Barley,
oats and bran are also reported in
demand by our merchants, and it
will only require few more days
to clean up the stock now on hand.
A merchant here has had an order
out for a carload of each for eleven
days, but the reply comes "plenty
of grain, but no cars" If this
continues much longer the many
horses about Bellevue will soon
commence their diet on snowballs
and icicles.
